Week one

[letsplayamod]

You've all met Athena, and she's made her point quite clear. She's fully committed to making this world better, and you're the ones who agreed to lend a hand. Something she's obviously quite thankful for.

It's really not so bad around here. Despite the sky, and the state of the land, things are fairly calm. You've got plenty of time to get used to it, and each other. Maybe this'll be easier than it seems.

[ Ahhh, Ferdinand. The one who was almost dead, but not. Alex finds himself a little envious.

He would be moreso if Ferdinand didn't also have That Number on his own plaque. Even if he's learned and is...trying, very hard, to understand that Death doesn't have its influence here, it still gives him pause. He sort of wants to give Ferdinand space.

.......Except the dude is like. STUDYING those plaques, when Alex walks by him, and like. That's weird? That's weird. ]

What're ya doin' man?

[markofnobility]

Learning everyone's names and accolades!

[rockymountaindie]

Aaand I guess goin' 'round and asking people, that's too old-fashioned for you?

1/2

[markofnobility]

...

[One can see the confusion on his face, as if Alex had said a complete non sequitur]

[markofnobility]

[Then growing realization and accompanying horror. Oh, yes... multiple people HAVE said the public knowledge was invasive feeling, didn't they? He even agreed as much at the time. And here he is using it so blatantly]

...oh. Oh no. I have been exceedingly rude, haven't I?

[rockymountaindie]

[ ...Oh. Oh, he— ]

Dude. You seriously didn't know?

[markofnobility]

I will admit the invasiveness of it did not occur to me.

[he gathers himself up]

But reason is not excuse. You have my apologies Al-

[Oh wait]

Erm, good sir.

[rockymountaindie]

[ Very slightly, he smirks. ]

Alex. And you?

[ ...he knows his name. he's just- half making a point and half being a little shit. ]

[markofnobility]

Alex. And I... am Ferdinand von Aegir.

[He even gets a little bow]

[rockymountaindie]

[ oh damn full name??? AND a bow? ]

You don't need to do that, I'm literally just a guy.

[markofnobility]

It is habit! And we are all gods now apparently, so you deserve the respect as much as anyone else.

[rockymountaindie]

[ Alex flushes. ]

N-no way. That's too weird.

[markofnobility]

Hah, it is fine, I know not everyone is used to such formality. I will try to be more casual.

[rockymountaindie]

Thank you.

[ A beat. ]

Don't...beat yourself up too much about the bein' nosy thing. I definitely took my own peek at these things, at first.

[markofnobility]

But peeking is not memorizing. Still, I doubt any of us ignored them completely. They are too strange to not investigate!

[rockymountaindie]

[ Smaaaaall grimace. ]

Sure are. Kind of a lot of info for a plaque...

[ Like the heights and weights... No, do not get hung up on that Alex, it's FINE, this is FINE, Ferdinand is definitely not an instrument of death. ]
